What does the Authentication and Identity Third Edition include?

The product delivers a 60+ file digital playbook comprising PDFs and XLSX workbooks: 668 assessment questions, scoring calculators, gap-analysis matrices, a 90-day adoption roadmap, case-based scenario library, audit-prep checklists and executive dashboards. All files are emailed to you within 24 business hours and are ready for immediate implementation.

Are you leaving your organisation exposed to security breaches, compliance penalties and costly operational inefficiencies because your authentication and identity programme is still immature? Without a rigorous, evidence-based assessment you risk failed ISO/IEC 27001 audits, NIST SP 800-63 non-compliance, GDPR fines, and an expanding attack surface that competitors will exploit. The Authentication and Identity Third Edition self-assessment playbook resolves those risks instantly - you gain a complete diagnostic, a prioritised remediation roadmap and the confidence to protect digital interactions before the next audit or breach.
